Wiggle Room between a Carrot and the Potatoes

by kara-rose-trojan

There's a private, invisible flock of comedians chanting soapbox knock-knocks in my parking lot             Noisy, clang, boom thingy aloft and clipping the air around the slimy snow And why does ajax keep butting its nose into everything I’ve got? They’re all just boom-lost facades in a canonical, sly-faced rant. So slanted, frankly, and poised toward a milder pace that the clang clipped the frosty branches beneath a drunken frat-house party. Ah, the dandy-clang : native to the sandy graves and morose olive branches.             But only on the night of the dandy-clang, candy dances for the branches are not partial to missed solid caches             of want and woe             of tongue and toe and seldom shaken beneath the overbearing heat of a white-faced predator for times it was that here and now, because the wind had bitten harder What am I saying? That if the dandy-clang came. And if it produced the branches of the dancing eve fame... with but not together. The clouds up in the ether that lake and earth should wither
